Critic's Review Synopsis: Though the tale of a girl who sets out to destroy a well-knit family to avenge the death of her hubby is not altogether new, it still has its share of captivating moments.
Movie Review: With leading actresses shying away from experimenting, Charmme deserves kudos for daring to explore a negative role. And Charmme comes up with a reasonably good performance.
Though the tale of a girl who sets out to destroy a well-knit family to avenge the death of her hubby is not altogether new, it still has its share of captivating moments. Unfortunately, slow-paced narration, repetitive scenes and a tame resolution mar the show. Actress Manjula impresses as a typical homemaker who realises her folly of appointing a pretty damsel as a caretaker. Trying to be different, director Prakash gives a contrived motive to his protagonist. A major lapse on the part of the director was revealing the identity of the killer a bit too early in the film. Also a tighter screenplay could have made for a more engrossing film.
The film begins with Manjula and her hubby (Indrajith) and their two kids moving into a new house. Simultaneously, she is also busy setting up a green house and gets a servant (Rajesh) to handle it. One fine day, Charmme, a stranger, saves Manjula's child and she decides to appoint her as the child's caretaker. Charmee gradually gets close to the family and Sasank, Manjula's brother-in -law, falls in love with her. She initially avoids his advances, but finally agrees to marry him. But soon after, the family is shocked to find Sasank dead in a road accident. Check it out in a theatre, to know how the rest of the drama unfolds.
Charmme who is adept in portraying innocence on screen unveils her dark side this time. Manjula shows signs of her acting potential when she tries to win back her annoyed husband. Sasank, Bharath and Rajesh have nothing much to do. Compositions of Manu Ramesan are not catchy but cinematography is comparatively good.
